Jmeter Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM) - jmeter

I am a rookie when it comes to Jmeter and I am struggling to get a HTTP Request to run successfully (even for 1 iteration).
The Site being tested is an Intranet site used by staff. In terms of accessing via any browser, the homepage loads (having authenticated me as a user through my Domain Login/Password - through logging in to my laptop). From what I can gather from tools such as FIDDLER:
GET request to the server sent, Server response is 401 unauthorized (WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate)
GET REQUEST header sent back with Authorization: Negotiate HASH, Server response is 401 Unauthorized with a different WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate HASH
GET REQUEST sent back with same Authorization: Negotiate HASH as received in previous SERVER response. Server responds with HTTP 200.
I am struggling to get the above working in JMETER. I have tried by capturing the output from Blazemeter Chrome plugin and saving as .jmx file but replaying this results in
div id="header">h1>Server Error
h2>401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
h3>You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
Any ideas as to how I should go about getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.........

JMeter comes with HTTP Authorization Manager which you can use to bypass NTLM authentication challenge. Just add it to your Test Plan and provide the following values:
Username: your Windows domain user name
Password: your Windows domain password
Domain: your Windows domain
Mechanism: BASIC_DIGEST
The HTTP Authorization Manager should automatically handle auth flow. See Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter article for more details if required.

How does JMeter generate Content-Type = Multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebkitFormBoundaryxxxxxxxxxx

I am working on creating performance test for an application based on Windows authentication.
Test plan is designed as following :
Test Plan
HTTP Cookie Manager
HTTP Authorization Manager
Thread Group
HTTP Request 1
HTTP Request 2
In the HTTP authorization manager section I have provided the base URL, username, password and selected Mechanism as BASIC_DIGEST.
Now assume that HTTP Request 2 is a file upload scenario.
When the steps were recorded then then the file upload scenario had a Content-Type header which has the value - Multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebkitFormBoundaryxxxxxxxxxx.
Now when I execute the script boundary in the above format is not generated which probably results in script failure. I need to understand what changes I might need to implement in order to generate the Content-Type correctly.
I believe that you should rather remove Content-Type header from the HTTP Header Manager and tick "Use multipart-form/data" box in the HTTP Request sampler:
The fact you're getting HTTP Status 401 means that your configuration of HTTP Authorization Manager is not correct. If you're using your Windows domain credentials for accessing the application your "Mechanism" choice might be wrong as Kerberos is way more popular than NTLM so inspect network tab of your browser developer tools and see what are WWW-Authenticate and Authorization header value, this way you can guess what mechanism is being used exactly and properly configure the HTTP Authorization Manager

Jmeter - Getting 403 forbidden errors on custom api's while running a login script of sharepoint login

I'm getting 403 error on each custom rest api while executing the sharepoint login.
Could you please share with me a solution with an example?
This error comes
{"error":{"code":"-2147024891,
System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access
denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access
this resource."}}}
Most probably you need to add proper authentication context to each API request and the most common way to protect the API from unauthorized usage is requirement to have valid Authorization header.
Inspect the outgoing requests to your custom API using your browser's developer tool and pay attention to the request headers in the "Network" tab, I believe you should see the aforementioned "Authorization" header or Cookie header or something like this.
In your JMeter script you can add custom headers to your requests using HTTP Header Manager
JMeter should handle Cookies automatically given you add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan.

Jmeter , I'm facing 403 error when i try to run a login test

enter image description here
I used the Regular Expression Extractor for the tokens, but the 403 forbidden error keeps displaying.-check the screenshoot
Seems some missing configuration issue.
Can you please make sure:
You have HTTP Cookie Manager added to your Test Plan
If your application is protected with external authentication system like Basic HTTP Authentication, NTLM or Kerberos you need to handle it properly using HTTP Authorization Manager
Can you try :
Adding HTTP Header Manager and authorization with Basic encoded
one screenshot of the failed response headers doesn't tell the full story, you need to show us:
Successful request URL, body (if any) and headers (you can get it from browser developer tools)
Failing request from JMeter URL, body (if any) and headers from the View Results Tree listener
As per HTTP Status Code 403 description:
The HTTP 403 Forbidden client error status response code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
This status is similar to 401, but in this case, re-authenticating will make no difference. The access is permanently forbidden and tied to the application logic, such as insufficient rights to a resource.
If you can successfully execute the same scenario using browser and cannot using JMeter - most probably it's due to missing or improperly implemented correlation, try recording the same steps one more time and compare generated scripts, all values which are different needs to be properly worked around

Spring Security Oauth2 Swagger

I am attempting to configure Swagger Authentication on my resource server, so that I can authenticate against my authorization server.
I have the resource and authorization servers separated. They are both starting up on my localhost with different ports.
Resource Server on port 8083
Authorization Server on port 8081
Whenever I attempt to "Authorize", there is a CORS issues.
I forked a project from another website to use as my testing grounds. Below is the forked project.
https://github.com/cbriarnold/oauth2-spring-boot-2.0.2
To test, once both the authorization server and resource server are started, do the following:
Go to http://localhost:8083/swagger-ui.html
Click on "Authorize" button
Click on "Authorize" button in dialog
If you have the developer tools open, you will see that there is the CORS error
Access to fetch at 'http://localhost:8081/oauth/token/' from origin 'http://localhost:8083' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: Redirect is not allowed for a preflight request.
The http status code associated with the above CORS error was 302.
So, I modify the source to try to permitAll (I know this is undesired from a security perspective, but I am just trying to figure out what is going on). I will receive the same CORS error, but with the https status code of 403. Code is found on the following branch.
https://github.com/cbriarnold/oauth2-spring-boot-2.0.2/tree/permitAll
Any suggestions?
I think you need to add #CrossOrigin(/*your hitting server*/) on your controllers
it's a chrome security check to see if your are permitted to talk with that server or not it sends an option request at first and if you're permitted it send your original request which is accessing swagger
if you want to make sure if that is a cross origin problem or not try to send that request via postman because postman send your request direct without option request at first

Browser not responding to www-authenticate challenge for bookmarked ssl (https url) to restricted resource

I have set up SSO using weblogic on windows and Kerberos, It is working fine for the http pages, however I observed a strange behavior on https pages which requires CONFIDENTIAL setting for the transport, It works fine if I first access a page on http which is not configured as secured in web.xml(Transport-Gurantee as None) and then the https page.
But If I try to hit the https url directly which is configured with Transport-Gurantee as CONFIDENTIAL then it shows the Basic Auth Dialog and a 401 Unauthorized response, Looking at the logs I see that the Server responded with the WWW-Authenticate but browser showed the Basic Auth Dialog in response instead of getting the Authorize token.
Does anyone has any idea on what might be issue here, If there is any problem with the browser settings then it would not have worked irrespective of accessing the http url first.
I can see the following error log in weblogic console
Malformed request "Can not parse URI from http request". Request parsing failed, Code: -1
Found one of the link here
SPNEGO on IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1 with https
For my case it is weblogic 12c , I don't think reinstalling 12c is a valid solution for it
Ok I got it fixed , It turns out to be an issue with the browser configuration , the https://myserver.domain.com was not inside the intranet domain and the control to do that rests with the windows Admin team, once they added it , the https urls are also working fine.
